Is this covid…?

[Alexa1990]

So I’m away and unable to access covid tests. Back tonight and have ordered a PCR/and a box of lateral flows.

Generally felt exhausted and had hit a wall, however I have just worked over an 80 hour week with lots of overtime. Plus aching legs and body, sore throat too.

Then woke up in a pool of sweat, cue change of pyjamas! Less of a sore throat and now a cough, which is becoming very chesty. Blocked nose but not really able to blow it.

Slept for a solid three hours yesterday which is unusual for me during the day but I couldn’t stay awake!

Thoughts on whether I have covid? Or just a cold and completely run down and overworked.

slightly have isomnis now from accidentally taking a cold & flu tablet containing caffeine, although my chest is hurting from the cough!

Sounds very much like Covid, sorry! Hopefully you are over the worst but rest up.

thanks!

It does, sorry. That’s exactly how I’ve felt the past week! Do you have a test?

Another yes vote, sorry!

There is no point asking a bunch of strangers on the internet for a diagnosis. Just wait and do the test.

sore throat is now the most reported covid symptom according to Kings college/Zoe app.
Followed by blocked up nose and cough. I think you'll likely test positive OP
